In the present study, it was examined the management methods of biowaste produced in the Municipality of Agios Dimitrios (Attica). The Municipality of Agios Dimitrios is a large municipality and therefore the research on biowaste management is considered imperative. Initially, a questionnaire of 32 questions was prepared, which was addressed to citizens of the Municipality of Agios Dimitrios. The content of the questions assessed the current situation of waste collection and the level of cleanliness of the Municipality as well as the known methods of waste treatment. Then, the definition of biowaste was introduced in the questionnaire to inform the citizens about the contents of the wastes as well their treatment. Another goal of the questionnaire was to seek their opinion for the construction of a biowaste treatment plant in the Municipality of Agios Dimitrios. Also, the two proposed methods of treatment of biowaste "Composting" and "Anaerobic Digestion" were analyzed, whereas the steps of biowaste treatment as well as the produced products, compost and biogas were analyzed. In addition, based on the processes that had described, a product calculation approach was made according to the data - bio-waste of Agios Dimitrios. From the produced quantities of biowaste of the Municipality of Agios Dimitrios it was estimated that 2646.54 tn / year of compost is produced and approximately 106 m3/ year of methane. Finally, the benefits of biowaste treatment are numerous for the environment and the economy. The selection of the optimal process for biowaste management for the Municipality of Agios Dimitrios is an important part of this work. In addition, the ways of improving the processes with the aim of increasing the produced quantities - products are examined, while at the same time the importance of informing the citizens for the achievement of the Sorting at the Source through various tools is emphasized.
